Michael Kiwanuka

Michael Kiwanuka is a guitar loving, british soul singer who caught my attention immediately. Michael somehow finds the balance between being new, modern, and contemporary, but still having a classic, timeless feel.

He is one of those songwriters that makes you feel some kind of emotion as soon as you hear his smooth, soulful voice. Home Again, is the debut album by Michael and it was  the winner […]
